Danny Elfman to compose the score for Zack Snyder's Justice League

Close to thirty years after he composed the iconic theme for Tim Burton's BATMAN, it seems that Danny Elfman will get another shot at the Dark Knight, along with a few other heroes to boot. Zack Snyderhad been working with Antonius Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, on the JUSTICE LEAGUE score, but THR reports that Holkenborg has moved on to TOMB RAIDER and that Danny Elfman will be replacing him.

Additional photography on the Warner Bros. film is getting underway in London under the direction of Joss Whedon, who Zack Snyder had brought in to rewrite some additional scenes. A heartbreaking family tragedy led to Snyder stepping aside altogether and Whedon agreed to handle the reshoot and post-production work on the film in order to complete Snyder's vision. This won't be the first time that Danny Elfman will have collaborated with Joss Whedon, as he also composed additional music for AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON.

What do you folks think about Danny Elfman returning to the DC universe for JUSTICE LEAGUE?

The official synopsis for JUSTICE LEAGUE:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
